Elizabeth Augustyn

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Elizabeth (Schmieder) Augustyn at the Juravinski Hospital on December 10, 2020 at the age of 96. Elizabeth was born September 10, 1924 in Schramberg, Germany. After the second world-war, her betrothed, Walter, immigrated from Poland to Hamilton where he arranged for her to join him. Walter and Elizabeth were married in Hamilton and raised two sons Peter and Frank. Elizabeth was a kind lady that loved life, she was up to date on the most current news and goings-on in the world. She took pride in being a house-wife and mother and on many occasions you would find her in her apron rustling up a home-made soup, cookies or some other delicious fair. Elizabeth enjoyed knitting, needle-point, reading and not too many years ago she enrolled in French lessons with her son Peter. Her garden on Crosthwaite Avenue brought her hours of pleasure. She is predeceased by her husband, Walter, and will be lovingly remembered by her sons Peter, who she resided with, Frank and his wife Carolyn and her nieces Wanda, Lillian and Irene. She will also be dearly missed by her friends and neighbours from Crosthwaite Avenue, and more recently Binbrook. Our family would like to sincerely thank Elizabeth's personal home care-givers and the nurses and doctors at the Juravinski Hospital. We will forever remember (mom) Elizabeth in our hearts. Due to Covid-19 a private funeral will be held at Bay Gardens Funeral Home Chapel, 947 Rymal Road E., Hamilton with internment to follow at the Holy Sepluchre. To remember Elizabeth donations may be made to Muscular Dystrophy Canada or St. John The Baptist Church, Hamilton.
